Rangers forward Chris Kreider received a five-minute major and a game misconduct after boarding Jonas Brodin. It appeared that Brodin slowed up near the line, but Kreider drove through the Wild defenseman and sent him dangerously into the boards. It’s pretty interesting to hear the officials discussing the hit and ultimately deciding to toss Kreider. […]

Arguably the most popular character in Dumb and Dumber outside of Harry and Lloyd, Neely’s Sea Bass has a huge following. As time wore on, a Sea […]

The Dallas Stars may have a problem in net. Kari Lehtonen has played well, but the team is lacking stability behind him and may need to explore new options beyond Anders Lindback. Lindback was supposed to be the solution after the team used Dan Ellis and Tim Thomas in previous seasons, but so far he has lacked […]

Things got heated between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Los Angeles Kings in a hurry in their game on Sunday afternoon. Just a few minutes into the first period, tempers boiled over. Jordan Nolan reached over the boards and nudged Scott Hartnell with his stick. Hartnell wasn’t exactly pleased and swung his stick towards […]

Dustin Byfuglien is no stranger to dishing out some huge hits. When the Winnipeg Jets hosted the Colorado Avalanche, Byfuglien landed two crunching back-to-back checks. My goodness. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

The Edmonton Oilers were able to string together three consecutive wins over the past week and it couldn’t have come at a better time. After starting the year 0-4-1, the Oilers were floundering and barely looked competitive. The blame, as always, fell on the head coach and Dallas Eakins’ job appeared to be in serious […]

After eight games, the Toronto Maple Leafs sit near the bottom of the Atlantic Division with a 3-4-1 record. While the team’s early record is disappointing enough as is, the manner in which the Maple Leafs have started the year is what’s really worrisome. Tactics aren’t working. Motivation is lacking. Effort, as a whole, is […]

There was a frightening moment in the SPHL game between the Huntsville Havoc and the Peoria Rivermen when Justin Cseter of the Havoc suffered a severe cut to his leg from a skate blade. The cut appeared to happen above the knee and was so severe a tourniquet had to be fashioned with a hockey stick. There was […]

It’s not often you see a two-on-zero break from a team killing a penalty, but that’s exactly what happened when the Montreal Canadiens battled the New York Rangers on Saturday night. The Canadiens stole the puck and Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty combined for a beautiful short-handed goal.

The Philadelphia Flyers suffered some brutal luck when both Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald went down with injuries. Both men are expected to be out about a month, meaning Philadelphia’s questionable defense now has a couple of major holes. Considering the trade market appears to be fairly quiet, especially when it comes to defense, what are […]

Buffalo’s Brian Gionta was able to avoid a serious injury following this huge hit from San Jose’s Tommy Wingels. The hit was a controversial one and no penalty was called on the play. Should there have been one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOCfsJN4CaI

The New York Post is reporting that billionaire William Foley is attempting to bring the NHL to Las Vegas. The article mentions that Foley aims to have a team in Vegas by the 2017-18 season. As always, consider the source. The New York Post doesn’t have the cleanest of records, but this specific report is […]

The New Jersey Devils enter the 2014-15 campaign two years removed from their magical postseason run to the Stanley Cup Finals. Many of the players on that 2012-13 team are now long gone, including stars Zach Parise (signed as a free agent to the Minnesota Wild) and Ilya Kovalchuk (bolted to the KHL of Russia.) […]
